Vanilla Floral Cake.jpg

< honey, strawberry & basil cake with vanilla bean frosting >

A simple, delicate seasonal number to ease into the weekend with. 

A light honey sponge, made with @honey_fingers amber North Fitzroy Honey. Honey can’t get much more local than that, I may even have “met” these bees! 

Filled with fresh strawberries and finely chopped basil and slathered in lashings of vanilla bean swiss meringue.

Decorated with ranunculus, which have been stunning this September/October. I’ve even grown a few in my front garden - although they were free seeds and they turned out to be electric blue!
